We should have a ads opt in check box in account settings so for those who have account but still want to support perchance i would be happy to opt in on ads if it helps in a small way
The best way to help pay for the AI plugins is actually to start playing around and building cool/fun things with them. And of course sharing those things with fandoms/communities/etc. that would likely find them useful.
Some people create an account just to not see ads, which is fine, but it does add a little burden. Luckily there are a bunch of perchance builders who are creating cool stuff using the AI plugins and sharing that stuff with the 'outside' world -- they are the ones that make the AI plugin 'economics' work. Without them, all the people who using the GPU resources would be (mostly logged-in) Perchance users, and so there'd be no ad views to fund the AI plugins.
But don't stress if you aren't a builder (yet!). Ads don't fully cover the cost of AI plugins still, but it's manageable because I have personal income to help pay, and GPU cloud prices will eventually come down (in terms of perf/$), so at this point I'm not concerned at all about financial sustainability of the AI plugins.
I also don't regret making my Random Mixed-up Flag Image Generator as well as the Counter Lab, which is pretty much some of the only generators with AI plugins that I've ever made.
(Not to mention The Super Long Name and Chat in the Smartwatch also have a
text-to-image-pluginbuilt into it!)Looks like your random-mixup-flag-image gen is getting quite a few views! People are trying to type flag combinations into the comments box - I think they're landing there from a google search, thinking that they can type their own flag combinations but they don't realise that it's actually a comments box.
It'd be cool if you replaced the two names at the top with two
<input>s and then add a "randomize" button next to those two inputs. So you can type your own countries into the box, or you can click the randomize button to generate two random country names.Then the button at the bottom is what triggers the image generation - kinda like this: https://user-uploads.perchance.org/file/413361fb65b9123ed557a62c62cc4dc3.webp (excuse my bad photopea skills)
(Edit: Oh, I see from the message on that page that you're actually planning to update it soon! I'm guessing you noticed those comments too and already intended to do something roughly like I mentioned above)
looks like it's time to share Luna-Says and Celestia-Says :)
you are a wonderful dev. never think you aren't
I support this for everything. You’re my cellular company, if you offered me money off my bill in exchange for selling my info? Cool, I’ll consider it.
Perchance gets paid each time we see a ad the more if someone clicks it running a ai genratior can cost alot of money just keeping it working they are going to need to buy new hardware constenly just to keep up with the vast influx of new users so you should be able to see ads with a account if you wish to
Also, probably a way to chip in for the server costs. @[email protected]
@edwardthefma99 I they wanted to, they could also open Perchance generators in an incognito session, as it clears all the login data on the site, thus rendering it as "logged-out". That means, ads will appear on that session, while keeping the other one as "logged-in" 😊
I occasionally did this to be able to comment without a nickname on generators.
Cool i wasn't thinking about that
